With our iOS 11 course, you can express your creativity by making your own apps and games. You can train your mind to think in a new way as you learn to code. You can take your first step to being a developer, or expand from your current programming skills. Ready to get started?

First you learn the basics of Apple’s programming language, Swift 4.0. Follow along with us to learn how to use variables, functions, classes, and more. Then you start coding an actual calculator app from start to finish. We also show you how to use Photoshop for User Interface (UI) design.

Then we show you how to build games for the iPhone using SpriteKit. We want you to be a well-rounded developer. For this reason, we show you how to make the code AND the art for projects from scratch.

Augmented reality is big in the news, as the capabilities of Apple’s ARKit seem to grow every day, whether you want to make an alternate dimension portal for your game or make an app that measures the length of your wall. Our course has a section to introduce you to navigating ARKit.

If you want to increase your portfolio as a developer, making Apple Watch apps is a great way to do so. In our chapters on WatchKit, you learn how to make interactive Apple Watch apps.

We prioritize learning by doing. We teach theory while writing real code and make fully working apps. We’ve also added coding exercises to the end of this course so that you can put your skills to the test.

The best way for you to learn how to make your own app is to follow project-based training content. By taking our course, you get practical, employable skills immediately. You can put the apps you make in this course in your portfolio!

We at Mammoth Interactive value input from students like you. Please feel free to leave your feedback or questions in our FORUM. We are always happy to help.

Why CIImages?

In this course, you learn how to add unique features to the images in your apps. A CIImage is a representation of an image that can be altered with Core Image filters. These filters allow users to change and interact with images in cool and useful ways. CIImages provide a lot of power that other image types do not.

Why Xcode?

Xcode is Apple’s FREE software for app development. Xcode is user-friendly and has the tools you need to make apps for the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV. In this course, you learn to navigate Xcode’s interface. You learn how to add User Interface (UI) elements, including text fields, sliders, and buttons, to make an app. You learn to code in Swift 3.0, Apple’s programming language, to make the app function.

Course Curriculum

Part 1: Apply common filters like Sepia and Blur to the images in your app. Test distortion and transition effects! See what happens when you combine multiple filters.

Part 2: Use Facial Recognition software that is available in Swift to detect facial features such as eyes and smiles in photographs. Detect text found in images.

Part 3: Develop an interface that will allow you to load, modify, and save CIImages. Learn the different ways to load images from multiple sources into an iOS app. Knowing how to save images in a photo album opens a whole slew of possibilities!

Part 4: Superimpose images onto other images. Let a user place an image from a Camera Roll to the location where you tap on an app.

Part 5: Let a user zoom and pan on your app’s images. This functionality is especially useful for users to interact with images like maps.

Is this course for me?

By taking this course, you will gain the tools you need continue improving yourself in the field of app development. You will be able to apply what you learned to further experiment in Xcode and make your own apps able to perform more.

What programs do I need?

To follow along with these tutorials, you will need Xcode, Apple’s free software for making apps for iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS. Note that Xcode is only available on Apple computers. This course was recorded on a Mac.

Do you want to make 2D games for Apple products? Join master programmer Nimish Narang for a 1-hour webinar on how to navigate the SpriteKit framework. Register here for just 10 dollars.

Why SpriteKit?

SpriteKit is THE framework for making 2D games for Apple products. It’s free! You can make cool games, from super simple to more complex, in SpriteKit. SpriteKit provides support for cool special effects and physics. It’s a fun interface to express your creativity. Before you know it, you could see a game you built in SpriteKit in the App Store!

Here’s what we’ll do:

– Learn the basics of scenes, nodes, actions, and physics bodies in Xcode’s game engine
– Put all the concepts together to make the simple version of a classic game for iOS

But wait, there’s MORE! If you enroll in this webinar, you’ll get 2 FREE courses from Mammoth Interactive. First, you’ll get our NEW Introduction to SpriteKit course, where you learn how to build 3 games in SpriteKit. Second, you’ll get our 77-hour course on how to build virtual reality games with Blender and Unity3D!
